[QUOTE="mythago, post: 7715065, member: 3019"] There are people who think that sitting around and using crunchy-rules books to run games about killing orcs is exactly as much fun as calculus homework. There are people who find dungeon-crawling or WoD to be utterly unrewarding. And there are people who pick up new systems because they want to try them out, or play them as a one-shot (such as at a con) or occasionally - just as with any other kind of game. That a game may not lend itself to a years-long campaign or extended character arcs says nothing about whether gamers (who may or may not also be educators, activists, etc.) would want to play them. That said, thanks for your reviewing all of these. I also picked up a copy, and had much the same reaction you did; some of them sound awesome, some of them are interesting to read about and not play (which is how I feel about a *lot* of RPGs, tbh) and some of them are just trying too hard. I mean, it's a collection of 34 minigames. They're not all going to be home runs. But I doubt that we would have gotten the same "I haven't read it but it's awful" criticisms if the anthology had been called #ExperimentalNanoGames. [/QUOTE]
